Manufacturing Day

Manufacturing Day (MFG Day) is an opportunity for manufacturers to highlight what's taking place on factory floors across the country and to energize a future pipeline of skilled workers. An annual event that occurs on the first Friday of October, MFG Day is an occasion during which manufacturers open their doors to showcase the potential of modern manufacturing and foster interest in manufacturing careers. This year, MFG Day kicks off on Friday, October 3, 2025. Organizations show the public what manufacturing really looks like through more than 3,000 events in each of the 50 states and Puerto Rico with over 325,000 students, parents, and community members attending.

The rallying point for a growing mass movement, MFG Day empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive. Since its inception, the MEP National Network^TM has participated in MFG Day by hosting, coordinating, and promoting events. You can read this blog to learn more about how MFG Day is changing perceptions and the role the Network has played.
